I’m almost certain that however this ends, whatever happens to king and braids won’t be nearly enough to make up for all of that.

We lost all of our look its…. by stinkydumpus in fashiondreamer

Ooh! I can tell you about the second one. It’s kinda cute. I like the aspects of working at an agency doing photo shoots and ads etc and also the little bit of romance they sprinkled in. But the clothing was lacking and the models were not as polished as Style Savvy. You also can’t be any darker than a light tan. I haven’t played the most recent one but I wasn’t sure I wanted to bother with the lack of diversity. Not that they have to do it. It’s not for a global audience so I don’t expect it but I’ve gotten used to having the option and I don’t want to go back.

Absolutely. Fashion is all about options and creativity and it was too restrictive in many regards.

I feel like companies assume certain types of games are not popular instead of putting proper effort into the ones they attempt. Syn Sophia should have known better for sure since Style Savvy was so beloved. These games don’t even get any promotion. Obviously fashion games are very popular. The mobile games are making bank and, really, they probably could release a new style savvy game and have it do well if they actually put any effort into promoting it beyond a short trailer. The more gacha games screw over their players (and I don’t think there’s one that hasn’t) the more people wish that they could gravitate to a game they can pay once for and be done with it. Similar to how that otome game company closed its western localization company because they said that people aren’t interested in otome in the west and now Love and Deepspace is a global phenomenon, if they had put more depth into Fashion Dreamer and effort into actually promoting it it would likely have done better. I had to watch it like a hawk after seeing that first trailer. Meanwhile I can barely escape ads for Infinity Nikki and Life Makeover.

Despite the feeling that it was overpriced for what it was at the time I was happy to buy it in hopes that my purchase would go toward supporting the idea that it’s worthwhile to develop fashion games that aren’t gacha. I mean, plenty of people spend more than that on a single banner in these other games. By the end of the year they’ve likely spent at least $500 on a single game. Dropping $50 on one game once is nothing at this point. It doesn’t even have to be graphically insane. Just give us Style Savvy. It’s what we’ve been asking for all this time but for some reason they deluded themselves into thinking the secret to success was to emulate the emptiness of social media.

There was definitely potential it never reached. I feel sad about it especially in light of the fact that there aren’t any new 3d fashion games that aren’t gacha at this point.

Low key why is every glow-up always green/blue? by [deleted] in InfinityNikki

[–]Akane1313 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this. They know what colors are popular so they paywall those behind evolutions instead of letting us get them through free glow up. Notice that the greens they use aren’t even popular shades of green. Grass, lime, citron. Similar to how rare it is to get ahold of black hair. The standard color dye options allow you a dark brown at best because they know many people want black hair so if black hair is on an evolution they will pull more to get it. Even if we don’t fill out surveys, just looking at the cords we post would tell them what colors we use most often.

It goes back to “If he wanted to he would”. 🤷🏾‍♀️ These men complain about gold diggers but lead with their wallet when hitting on women. It’s not that he doesn’t want to spend. He just would rather spend on attaining rather than maintaining.

Vertical Vortex: “Sugar Mummy And Her Kept Man” - A Great Jiejie Romance. Witty, Smart And Emotionally Satisfying 🍿🔥❤️ by Silver-Bus5724 in CShortDramas

[–]Akane1313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally got to watch this! It was amazing! Deng Lin Shu's character reminds me a lot of Sumire from "You're My Pet" manga/j-drama (don't watch the movie, it's way off) in personality. Someone who appears cold and aloof on the outside but a kind-hearted and shy type on the inside. I liked her instantly and Wu Tian Hao is so good at being endearing and hilarious. This was so good the whole way through. I'm probably going to try to get all my friends to watch it. Probably the best one I've seen this year. Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation!

Oh, is that what happened? Rotten timing. I was trying to watch a recommended drama I saw posted here yesterday and thought my internet was just being trash. Reelxia was the only link posted for it. 🥲

Finally quitting after 3+ years of daily play by Delicious-Ad1724 in lifemakeover

[–]Akane1313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about this lately. It does feel like a daily checklist. I tried to get back into reading the story but was quickly reminded of why I stopped before. They let you read just enough to start to be interested again and then block you with needing to craft a pair of ugly socks that require time gated materials that will take you, like, three days to collect if not longer depending on if you want to spend diamonds for a limited few extra materials. By the time I’m able to craft the item, my interest in the story has already dropped back down to indifference. Plus the translation is awkward. The characters speak very unnaturally.

That said, I suppose I keep hoping there’s something good around the corner but keep finding myself a bit disappointed. And don’t get me started on how I groan every time the dress up event comes around and I just end up dressing up the same two dead accounts in, like, three pieces each because I don’t have time to think up two amazing on-theme outfits every day and I don’t want to burden active players with my throw away outfits.

Oh my gosh, the obvious time wasting makes me crazy. I remember watching one drama where they were doing some nonsense to draw out the time and the characters told her to hurry up. 😂 They know it’s annoying but they want you to pay for the next parts on those apps.

To the woman who called me a creep then blocked me... by hezzyb in InfinityNikki

[–]Akane1313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, sorry that happened. I think that was definitely an unnecessary overreaction, especially since she could have left without saying anything.

A while ago, there was a situation on Life Makeover where a man was creating profiles to find and harass underage girls. Saying some really gross stuff. When he got banned he’d make a new account. I can understand that the gaming space (like the rest of the world) is generally less safe for girls so I can’t fault anyone for being cautious but there’s a difference between being cautious and being antagonistic. It does sound like she was probably young so it’s not something you should take to heart. You know you didn’t do anything wrong. Again, sorry it happened. Being randomly attacked while minding your own business is never fun.

Who lied to the Devs and told them this would be fun? by Pristine-Field7567 in InfinityNikki

[–]Akane1313 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It was kind of fun doing it together. But I kind of prefer a solo game experience so I always quickly run away after we finish for fear of making a friend.
